Supported agents

Docker Sandboxes supports multiple AI coding agents. All agents run isolated inside microVMs with private Docker daemons.

Supported agents

Experimental status

All agents are experimental features. This means:

• Breaking changes may occur between Docker Desktop versions
• Features may be incomplete or change significantly
• Stability and performance are not production-ready
• Limited support and documentation

Use sandboxes for development and testing, not production workloads.

Using different agents

The agent type is specified when creating a sandbox:

$ docker sandbox create claude ~/my-project
$ docker sandbox create codex ~/my-project
$ docker sandbox create gemini ~/my-project
$ docker sandbox create cagent ~/my-project
$ docker sandbox create kiro ~/my-project

Each agent runs in its own isolated sandbox. The agent type is bound to the sandbox when created and cannot be changed later.

Agent-specific configuration

Different agents may require different authentication methods or configuration. See the agent-specific documentation:

• Claude Code configuration

Requirements

• Docker Desktop 4.58 or later
• Platform support:
  • macOS with virtualization.framework
  • Windows with Hyper-V Experimental
• API keys or credentials for your chosen agent
